Sam Turner's Racing Tips: All the best bets for Thursday, August 20

Wednesday's Juddmonte International was dominated by the fairer sex thanks to Arabian Queen’s shock victory and it is again the turn of the fillies in a terrific renewal of the Darley Yorkshire Oaks.

COVERT LOVE (York, 3.40) has been an emerging force this term and is worth backing to supplement her success in the Irish Oaks, providing trainer Hugo Palmer with a first Classic win in the process.

The Newmarket handler believes there is more to come from his daughter of Azamour who, like her main market rival Curvy, began the season in handicaps.

That level is a distant memory for Covert Love, who won well at York in the spring prior to lifting a listed contest in both impressive style and a strong time at Newcastle.

She beat Curvy and Jack Naylor at the Curragh and there looks no obvious reason why the placings should be reversed. Lumiere has been talked of as the ‘second coming’ and there is every chance she could prove her star billing in the Lowther Stakes.

However, bar a win for a short-priced favourite at Ffos Las on Wednesday, the form of her Newmarket win hasn’t worked out well and EASTON ANGEL (York, 2.30) is taken to lower her colours with the juice in the ground sure to suit.

DUSKY QUEEN (York, nap, 4.55) saves her best efforts for here and could be some value with punters looking to the likes of Mistrusting and Spangled as ‘sexier’ alternatives.

The selection is searching for her fourth course win and her association with the talented Sammy Jo Bell has yielded a good profit.
